Cruciform Psalter - Psalm 119:89-96

Tune: “Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise”

vv. 89-91

Forever in heaven stands Your Holy Word
Of Your faithfulness generations have heard
All things are Your servants, at ready they stand
To do as You bid them by Your Great Commands

vv. 92-93

How we would have perished in darkness and night
If Your Word Made Flesh had not been our delight
May we keep Your precepts always in our sight
For by them Your Spirit has given us life

vv. 94-96

The wicked lie waiting, temptations are strong
Jesus save Your servants, to You we belong
For there is a limit to all You have made
But Your Great Commandments transcend time and space.
